Marcus Cooper takes silver in K4 500 at the Paris World Cup

The K4 500, formed by the Mallorcan paddler Marcus Cooper Walz and his teammates Saúl Craviotto, Carlos Arévalo and Rodrigo Germade, seventh at the recent World Championships in Duisburg (Germany), took some revenge in the World Cup event that serves as a test for the Paris 2024 Games by taking the silver medal.

The Olympic runners-up went through to the final at the Vaires-Sur-Marne sailing stadium with the third place in the semi-final, in which the German boat, champions in Tokyo and world champions a few days ago, did not come out. They had the pass assured and did not force.

 In the final they finished second with a time of 1:21.41, just 0.25 behind the winners, the Hungarians Bence Nads, Kolos Csizmadia, Istvan Kuli and Sandor Totka, runners-up in Duisburg. Denmark completed the podium, eight hundredths of a second behind the Spaniards.
